[opensuse-doc] LfL build problem
by James MacKenzie 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I've been trying to build the book as described in the LfL Quick Start guide, but keep getting stopped by an error: "unable to open image 'images/print/kde-kiosk_add_profile.png': No such file or directory." Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

[opensuse-doc] Translation of the Official Novell Documentation (ru)
by Nikolay Derkach 23 Sep '07

23 Sep '07

Hi, Translations for 10.3 are already almost done. I've built packages for documentation but it stiil needs some polishing (e.g. it has some minor issues with help centers) Packages reside in my home repo: http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/nderkach So, my question would be what is the deadline for us? You can pick packages for Factory right now if we can update them later (in few days or in a week). CC'ed coolo. -- Regards, Nikolay Derkach --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] Contributing
by James MacKenzie 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

This is my first post to the list. I'm interested in writing for or otherwise contributing to the SUSE documentation team. I'm a librarian, a SUSE user (since 2004), have some training in Linux/Unix systems administration, and I'm familiar with SGML and DocBook. I'm not a developer, but I'd like to contribute to Documentation any way I can; indexing, writing, proofing, mark-up, whatever the need is at the moment. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks, James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] Bugfix release of susedoc (4.2_20070830)
by Thomas Schraitle 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hi, there is now a bugfix release available on my openSUSE Build Server repository: Changelog: - Corrected Requires keywords and added version numbers for openSUSE Build Server in SPEC file - Corrected behavior of checking xml-commons-resolver (actually it is provided by two packages: xerces-j2 and xml-commons-resolver) Also a bug with JAVACMD in suse-fop, found by Marcus Schäfer - Fixed xsl:preserve-space for titles (xslt/fo/docbook.xsl) - Fixed index title in xslt/fo/index.xsl - Support for optipng (reduces size of PNG graphics) - Corrected FOP font issue (Thanks to Nikolay Derkach, see thread [1]). The only new feature is the "optipng shrinking process" from Berthold. It was necessary to reduce the size of our PDF and this can be done easily by optimizing the size of your PNG graphics. It is not required by the build process, so if you do not have optipng and exiftools installed, it will not touch your PNG files. Please update the susedoc RPM with your favorite installation tool (YaST, zypper, smart, ...). In case you use YaST and haven't added the respective repository, read [2] for more information. If you want to download the RPM package manually, find it under [3]. Choose your distribution and select "noarch". Look for susedoc-4.2_*.noarch.rpm. However, you have to resolve the RPM dependencies manually.

[opensuse-doc] Lessons for Lizards and openSUSE 10.3 integration
by Alexey Eremenko 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

To Novell: Please make sure LfL gets installed by default on new 10.3 systems, plus make sure it gets mentioned during the install stage. Should I fill bug reports against the install stage, that speaks about documentation but "forgets" to mention the new community-driven LfL effort ? -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] New version of susedoc (4.2_20070813)
by Thomas Schraitle 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hi, the last update took me longer than expected. Here is a new version of our XML build environment susedoc. These are the changes of the latest release: XSLT Stylesheets: * Rewrote some parts of desktop/docbook.xsl for generating .desktop files (generally, interesting for packagers only) * Language corrections from Patrick Tinley and Nikolay Derkach (Russian) * Applied smaller font size for legal text for stylesheets in directories "fo" and "flyer" See /usr/share/susedoc/xslt/ChangeLog for detailed information Makefile Mechanic: * Integrated dia and added conversion dia -> svg. Use LANG=C for dia to avoid some language problems * Improved make clean to remove images * Fixed bigfile creation Please update the susedoc RPM with your favorite installation tool (YaST, zypper, smart, ...). In case you use YaST and haven't added the respective repository, read [1] to add it. If you want to download the RPM package manually, find it under [2]. Choose your distribution and select "noarch". Look for susedoc-4.2_*.noarch.rpm.

[opensuse-doc] Translation of the Official Novell Documentation
by Nikolay Derkach 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi there! Pretty much time passed since my previous post (probably half a year). Since that time may things have changed. Much fun with building the whole infrastructure of our portal http://svn.team.org.ru:8000/trac (trac itself, SVN, daily pdf autobuild and such), hacking novdoc and XEP, initial transition - all this fun had turned into everyday routine of translating string by string day by day. Nevertheless, we proudly announce that translation of 10.2 documentation is finished! Our documentation includes the following guides (here are the links for daily builds): openSUSE Start-Up: http://svn.team.org.ru:8000/trac/browser/pdf/ru-daily/opensuse-kdequick-dai… KDE Quick Start: http://svn.team.org.ru:8000/trac/browser/pdf/ru-daily/opensuse-kdequick-dai… GNOME Quick Start: http://svn.team.org.ru:8000/trac/browser/pdf/ru-daily/opensuse-gnomequick-d… Current state of the 10.2 cycle is RC (means that still there are some defects or typos there). Localized screenshots are done only for kde-quick. Most likely we shall not announce widely our 10.2 translations as we want to go further and 10.3 will be released soon. Packages for openSUSE in the Build Service and HTML builds are in my agenda. We want to participate in 10.3 translations. And I have several questions: I've noticed that opensuse-manual has been recently updated to the new (10.3) version. Though further investigation revealed that it's just partly updated (gnome-quick hasn't been updated at all, kde-quick and startup have old 10.2 screenshots). So, I wonder when the documentation team will finish their work, when will stabilisation occur? I ask because we want to update our translations in time for 10.3, hopefully there will be not much work. Again wrt. to the above issues I ask if SVN for this documentation is planned in the nearest future? I know there are also German translations for opensuse-manual. Hence you probably know how translation is organized there? I mean how do they update translations from one version to the next? Simply making diffs and merging or? Please explain us as we want this process to run as smoothly as possible. Finally, one more question (most likely to coolo or AJ): is it possible to include our translation into the distribution? Thanks for reading and any feedback. -- Regards, Nikolay Derkach --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] LfL question: how-to subdivide very big articles ?
by Alexey Eremenko 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Hi all ! I have LfL question: how-to subdivide very big articles ? That is: I have "VirtualBox" article - a big guide actually. I want to have it's chapters to be available as links at the top of the article. Thomas once told me about using chapter IDs, but I didn't understood then. I will try now... So, can you help with example XML code ? -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org
